In a small indication of just how disorganised I've been recently, normally you simply do not get between me and a book by Louise Welsh. I'll fight you for them. So goodness knows what I've been doing, THE GIRL ON THE STAIRS came out in August last year. Mortified. Busy. Be back later.
From the Blurb:
Jane Logan is a stranger to Berlin and she finds the city alive and echoing with the ghosts of its turbulent past. At six months pregnant, she's instructed by her partner Petra to rest and enjoy her new life in Germany. But while Petra is out at work, Jane begins to feel uneasy in their chic apartment. Screams reverberate through the walls, lights flicker in the derelict building that looms over the yard, a shadow passes on the stairs...Jane meets a neighbour's daughter, a girl whose life she tries to mend, but her involvement only further isolates her. Alone and haunted, Jane fears the worst...but the worst is yet to come.
